This beef stir-fry is infused with kecap manis and ginger, so it’s got a great savoury and zingy flavour. Ginger also helps tenderise the meat, as well as adding an unmistakeable pop. Of course, you can dial it back if zingy isn’t your thing.
1 packet
beef strips
1 knob
ginger
2 clove
garlic
½ cup
kecap manis
(Contains: Soy; )
1 unit
capsicum
1 unit
carrot
2 packet
jasmine rice
1 sachet
sesame seeds
(Contains: Sesame; )
1 head
broccoli
1 pinch
chilli flakes
olive oil
3 tbs
soy sauce
(Contains: Soy, Gluten; )
2.5 cup
water (for the rice)
2 tsp
rice wine vinegar (or white wine vinegar)
¼ cup
water (for the sauce)

Finely grate the ginger. Finely grate the garlic (or use a garlic press). In a medium bowl, combine the ginger, garlic, kecap manis (see ingredients list), soy sauce and rice wine vinegar. Add the beef strips, toss to coat and set aside to marinate. TIP: If you have the time, allow the beef to marinate for at least 10 minutes to develop the flavour and ensure a tender result.

While the beef is marinating, slice the carrot (unpeeled) into 0.5cm batons. Thinly slice the red capsicum. Chop the broccoli florets and stalk into small pieces.

In a medium saucepan, bring the water (for the rice) to the boil. Add the jasmine rice, stir, reduce the heat to low and cover with a lid. Cook for 12 minutes, or until the rice is tender. Remove the pan from the heat and keep covered for another 10-15 minutes, or until the water is absorbed. TIP: The rice will finish cooking in its own steam so don't peek!

While the rice is cooking, heat a large frying pan over a medium-high heat. Add the sesame seeds and toast, tossing, for 3-4 minutes, or until golden. Transfer to a small bowl. Return the pan to a high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Add 1/3 the beef strips to the pan and cook, tossing, for 1-2 minutes, or until browned. Transfer to a plate. Repeat with the remaining beef strips.

Wash out the pan and return to a medium-high heat with a drizzle of olive oil. Add the carrot, red capsicum, broccoli and a dash of water and cook for 7-8 minutes, or until all the veggies are just tender. Add the water (for the sauce) and beef strips to the pan and cook, stirring, for 1-2 minutes or until heated through.

Divide the jasmine rice and Chinese beef & veggie stir-fry between bowls. Spoon over any sauce left in the pan. Top with the toasted sesame seeds and sprinkle the chilli flakes (if using) over the adult portions. TIP: For kids, follow our serving suggestion in the main photo!
